Catalog Description

“Intermediate programming of business applications using a modern programming language.

Topics include data structures, databases, web applications, and user interfaces. Principles of

programming style are emphasized. Projects and assignments cover business applications.”

Prerequisites

You are expected to know how to install and run common Windows and Web applications; how

to manage files, directories, and disks in a Windows environment; and have had a semester of

Java programming (ISM 3230 or COP 2006).

Goals & Objectives

Intermediate programming of business applications using a modern programming language.

Topics include data structures, databases, web applications, and user interfaces. Team projects

and assignments cover business applications. After completing this course you should be able to

create applications that solve business problems. Specifically, you should be able to:

Learn the advanced features of a modern interactive development environment including

the interactive debugger, application packaging, and project documentation.

Design and create IT solutions. This includes web forms, html, java server pages, and

applets.

Write code to solve common business problems, taking input from the user or file and

database data sets, perform calculations, and display the results.

Learn the principles object oriented programming; including inheritance, polymorphism,

and encapsulation.

2

Students will demonstrate this knowledge by creating business oriented applications (individual

and team) and completing several exams. Upon completing this course students will be able to

create web and desktop database applications. ISM 3212 Database Concepts augments and

expands the database portion of this class and ISM 4154 System Integration Strategies will give

students further practice designing and integrating such applications in cross functional systems.

Course Pedagogical Strategy and Teaching Philosophy

The pedagogical strategy of the course is to combine a variety of learning experiences: lectures,

discussions, homework, hands-on computer lab, quizzes, team assignments, tutorials, and

examinations. You are expected to attend all classes, read the assigned readings, complete

individual homework, contribute to team projects, and actively participate in class

discussions.

Instructor's Role : The instructor serves as facilitator in the learning process:

Creating exciting learning opportunities for the students

Assigning readings, homework, & challenging projects

Assessing students' work and stimulating participation

Student's Role: Students (you!) should be active participants in the learning process:

Read assigned chapters and tutorials (by due date)

Participate in class discussions

Complete and submit assigned questions and projects and participate in exams by the

indicated due date --- per course schedule on Angel

Students are expected to attend every class session. It is the student's responsibility to get course

notes from fellow students should they have to miss a class. Since this is a three credit course

projects, and homework.

Cell phones must be turned off before coming to class. Bringing food or drink to class is

strictly prohibited.

Academic Dishonesty/Cheating Policy:

All homework unless otherwise specified should be the student's own work. If you turn in

someone else's work, then you will lose double points for that assignment. If you allow someone

else access to your work, then you will lose all points for that assignment.

What is not ok (that is, cheating):

working with another student and turning in the same program

emailing or posting your working program to allow someone else to "just see how

you did it"

copying someone else's program, or copying a program from a book or the internet.

What is ok:

explaining to another student what mistakes they made

discussing how to approach an assignment

asking your professor for help in person or via email
